Bill and Hillary Clinton have led the tributes to deceased billionaire banker David Rockefeller, who has died at his New York home aged 101.

The Clintons remembered Rockefeller Monday as a ?kind, good man? and expressed their gratitude for his ?friendship and his remarkable life? in a joint statement, published on the Clinton Foundation website.

"David Rockefeller was a consummate businessman, a great humanitarian, and a serious scholar. He was a kind, good man to all who met him. Hillary and I are grateful for his friendship and his remarkable life,? the statement read.

The Clintons were among other political heavyweights who shared their condolences upon hearing the news that the Chase banker died in his sleep Monday.

"David Rockefeller is best known in certain circles for his role in the formation of the Trilateral Commission in 1973. The "three sides," from which the organization draws its name, are the world's three primary centers of political and economic power — the United States, Europe and Japan. The Trilateral Commission extends membership only to highly influential people from those three regions.

While officially presented as a group of 350 people seeking to promote international understanding and globalization, to others the Trilateral Commission represents a "new cabal" that wishes to promote the economic interests of some of its wealthiest members. It is credited with huge influence that works in largely secretive ways, and has been the subject of conspiracy theories involving global banking operations."
